51's Baseball and ESPN Zone-News and Notes

Two rather dissapointing things going on in the world of sports right now.

1) Don Logan downgraded from President of the Las Vegas 51's to GM. The problem with minor league baseball in Nevada has nothing to do with Don---in fact, the success it has had is BECAUSE of Don. Certainly, they need a new stadium for this team to survive here and Stevens Media (team owners) are foolishly making Don the skapegoat right now.

2) The closing of the ESPN Zone at New York, New York hotel and casino. News came Wed. of this closing. In fact, the hotel didn't even know it was closing until they saw the press release. The ESPN Zone has been losing tons of money during these difficult times.

I did a number of TV shows at the ESPN Zone, including an hour long special opening night. Click here to watch the motorcycle jump of Mike Jones on opening night of the ESPN Zone

Also, Saturday night at the Paris---Cheap Trick opens it's run of the show Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band. I saw this show at the LV Hilton a few months ago. Great show. Cheap Trick is one of the most fun bands out there, performing perhaps the most fun album ever.
